Cenergi SEA Group CEO, Ir. Kwok Yew Hoe, said, “Cenergi will continue to focus on bringing
new ways of converting wastes into energy while reducing carbon emissions. We deliver
renewable energy to consumers and end-users through products such as renewable electricity
from biogas, solar, and small hydro, certified biomethane from palm oil waste, as well as
certified Carbon Credits and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).

We also strongly support R&D and innovation, particularly in utilising agricultural waste for
energy transition, and encourage the increasing role of Malaysian universities in developing
home-grown solutions.”

As Malaysia advances its renewable energy journey, Cenergi acknowledges the important
role of the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) and the Energy
Commission (ST)
, whose policies and support continue to drive nationwide adoption of
renewable energy initiatives.
